With all the booms there should be
newspaper boom. This is not a sug-
gestion to the newspapers but to the
people. The Champion in short time
will enlarge and keep at the head Of
the procession. But the people of
Atchison will have much to learn
about the uses and effects of newspa-
pers. The art of advertising may be
said to be in its childhood. The peo-
pie having a boom on hand. do not
know how TO tell the world of it. They
do not seem to think that the news
papers should do that and at their
own expense. They do not realize that
outsiders do not cOnfine themselves
to reading editorials and locals. They
look at the advertising columns to
satisfy themselves as to the amount OF
business done. They certainly do not
credit the town with branches of bus
mess they do not see advertised. PEG

Much Activity Freight Moved with
lhtannte;lA.


NEW YoRE, Feb. S.-There was con-
siderable activity on the piers Of the
river front this morning, and freight was
being moved with much moe dispatch
than on any day since the strike. The
time that has elapsed since the 'iongshore-
men and freight handlers quit work has
enabled the railroad and steam ship com
panies to select and in some instances
train sufficient men to keen the freight
moving steadily along. Besides many OF
the old freight handlers and 'longshore-
men are coming back to work, not at the
places where they are known, but where
they are least likely to be known. The
Maine Steamship Company has got most
of its old hands back. On the Clyde Line
dock, pier 30, East river, there were 200
men waiting for the City of Atlanta to
reach the dock. Superintendent Healy
said that out of that number he could
pick all the men he required Tho Mallory
Line dock had resumed ita customary
busy appearance. Charles Mallory said
that they were not experiencing
any difficulty at all in getting their
steamers away on schedule time. They
had more men asking for work than they
could give employment TO. The New
1ork Clty and northern company NJ pier
40 had number of men working on
large float load of cars. The manager
said that he considered tie strike ended,
so far as it affected their pier. They
could get more help than was needed.
The daily line to Bridgeport was doing
business as usual. Along the North river
front there is decided Improvement in
the business of the rnilr, q | and st, am
ship companies, and freight is more
easily handled to day. Tho streets leading
to the piers are no longer choked up with
trucks A number of muscular country
men have been put to work who are learn.

are turning applicants away. The Italians
are gradually being discharged as better

suicide Of a nerchnn,.

Joseph Richardson, prosperous
country merchant, near Newberne, N. c.,
who was pulled out of the Schuylkill
river at Christian street, Philadelphia,
early in the morning of February 1st
after having vainly attempted to commit
suicide by drowning, put an end to his
life late Saturday afternoon by jumping
from 6re-escape on the third floor of
the Philadelphia Hospital, where he had
been taken to recover from the shock of
his cold bath. He had been carefully
watched by the attendants in the mems
medical ward, who feared second at
tempt Mt suicide, but he had showed no
evidence of such intentions. The physi-
clans intended to remove him to the in.
sane department in few days. As the
patients went out of the ward for supper
Saturday afternoon Richardson ran across
the corridor to an unfastened door open
ing upon the fire-escape before the startled
attendant could reach him. Pausina but
moment, he bounded over the low rail
ing of the tire-escape, crashing on the
stone pavement of the courtyard below.
1t was all done in an instant. The un-
fortunate man was picked up unconscious
and carried into the building, where he
died shortly after, being injured chiefly
about the head.

singular case awaited their attention.
1t seems that in that village, which is
situated on the Brunswick g. Western

pard and Stephen Rucker. They have
some education, and have long prided
themselves upon their sense of honor.
They were strong advocates of

press upon their fellows the idea
of calling out people who crossed their
paths. Recently these men became en-
tangled in business matter. Each
claimed that money was due from the
other. leopard decided that the matter
should be decided on the field of honor.
He called to his aid q friend and note
in the most approved style was sent to
Rucker, who in turn referred it to his
friend.
The preliminaries were quickly ar
ranged. leopard was to use a revolver
and Rucker decided to use his shotgun
At break of day the men were on the
ground. Fifteen PAGES was stepped off
and at the drop of handkerchief the
firing began. leopard fred quickly
emptying five chamber of his revolver
before Rucker could get his shotgun to
work. Two pistol shots entered Rucker,
one piercing him just under the heart and
the other went through his bladder. As
Rucker was falling MORALLY wounded he
discharged both barrels at leopard, per-
forating him with buck shot. It was to
relieve the latter that the doctors were SO
hastily sent for.

cation will reach $200,0 900. Leighton

only few weeks ago. He received
5000 salary. His accounts had not been
audited for years either by the county
auditor or by the justice of the court.
The receipts of the court dropped off

Il. n. Frazer, Secretary of the state
Board of Health, Furnishes the
Following:
Vital statistics from Kent county for
the quarter ending December 3lst, 1886 +:
Deaths from all causes, 40. There were
reported eight deaths from zymotic dis
eases, dysentery, diarrh@a, whooping
cough, typhoid fever and cholera in
fantum. The percentage Of the deaths from
xymotic diseases to the whole number of
deaths is 40. This percentage is more
than 1t should be- If there were but 40
deaths for the remaining three.quhrters
each, we would have but 100 deaths for
the year. -.
The population of Kent county by the
census of 1880, was so ,874, or say SO, 600.
This would give an annual death rate o!
about five persons in the 1000. inhabi-
tants and 20 per cent OF the eaaths from
zymotic diseases. The det.ths are not all
reported, which makes the percentage 80
large. Marriages reported, 70; births
reported, 81. A little stirring up, will
cause the reports to be what they should.

Bishop Alfred A. Curtis of this diocese,
preached at high mass in the Cathedral
of Baltimore Sunday morning. He said
ne came to ask assistance for his diocese.
Since his arrival in Baltimore lady
member of the Cathedral parish gave him
81 900 for church work. In the course
of his sermon Bishop Curtis remarked
that in these days men deny all the rights
of God. They deny even the right of the
Supreme Being to exist. We hear enough
of the rights of man, but nothing in
behalf of the rights of God. OF course
men have certain rights which must be
respected, but VIXEN they acGsp. the
duties and responsibilities of certain sta
ton in life they must expect their previous
rights to give way to the demands of their
new position. A man who desires to live
in the city must give up his residence in
the country and take city life as it is a
man who desires to marry has to forego
the freedom of single life. President
Cleveland cannot go abroad travelling now
with the same impunity he could as
private citizen. His executive duties re-
quire his undivided attention. So it is
with priest. He forsakes his rights as
layman to accept the rights given him as
a Clergyman, to give his life and efforts
for the church and for the poor. He has
no right to go around electioneering, be-
cause there is plenty for him to do in the
ministry, and if he has time to canvass
votes he should give that leisure, if such
it be, to his clerical duties instead. At
night Bishop Curtis preached o charity
sermon for the benefit of the st, Vincent

DEvIL's LAKE, DAKOTA, Feb. 9.-The
body of Mrs. Edward Walters, who dis.
appeared few days since, has been found
near DEVILS Lake. MIR. Walters came to
DEVILS Lake from his farm last Friday,
and the storm became so severe that he
could not return. His wife is thought to
have become alarmed at his prolonged
absence and started to go to her neighbor.
Her body was discovered short distance
from the road upon the open prairie
partly covered by snow and only about
quarter of mile from her own door The
snow about the spot where she lay indi-
Gated that she had walked about in a
small circle for a long time. The
blizzard last week was the severest of
the toughest winter known for
many years and reports are
coming in every day of persons being
caught out upon the prairie in the storm
and frozen TO death. The total of those
lost in Dakota this winter can hardly be
below the death figures of the Vermont
railroad accident, while large number
will suffer permanently from freezing of
parts of the body.

KENToN, Feb. Muddy ronds and

pie to see Que of the advantages of q
town corporation. That is, in such n
town, special attention is given to good
footways, and these this village is sadly
in need of. meeting of the citizens
was held ON last Thursday evening. and
it was decided that the village should APP
ply to the Legislature for an act of incor-
poration. This seems to be the only plan
by which the sidewalks can be paved /;
but as this village has only $50 inhabi-
tants, cftre should be taken that the cor
poration does not bring unnecessary ex-
penses, and large proportion of the
popula ion be compelled to make large
expenditures when hut few will be bene-
fitted by the improvement. Such evils a
small corporation is in danger of incur
ring.

A BAD RUNAWAY.
lost Control of n Team While Going
Down a Steep HILL,

On Saturday afternoon George Carroll
met with bad accident at Rockland,
from which he escaped almost as by a
miracle. Accompanied by the daughter
of his employer, J r Moore, who owns
o -four and grist mill at Rockland, and
her sister-in-law, he was driving leisurely
down the hill leading to Rockland, which
is very steep, and was covered with ice.
They had not proceeded far down the
steep incline when the wheels began to
slip and the rear portion came slipping
down with considerable velocity until the
wagon was diagonally across the road,
when it upset by striking an obstruction.
The young ladies were thrown violently
to the ground and, although bruised and
frightened, were not much hurt. The
horses, however, became scared and un-
manageable, and Carroll, who was thrown
underneath the wagon, received severe
kick on the leg from one of the animals.
They then rushed madly down the hill
dragging the unfortunate driver for con-
siderable distance, cutting and bruising
him badly. The horses continued their
mad fight until stopped by an intervening
fence. The vehicle was badly damaged,
DIR. Chandler Of Oentreville attended the
injured man and this morning he was
doing we'll.

The appeal of Samuel johnson, the
convicted murderer of Farmer John
Sharpless OF Lower Providence, Delaware
county, was argued before the supreme
court Monday. The defence took Is
exceptions to the charge to the jury, but
the two principal points urged in the argu-
ment Monday were as to the admission
of the testimony of colored man named
Morris Lewis and as to requiring the de-
PENDANT to stand up and speak certain
words in order to aid Mrs. Sharpless in
identifying him. Counsel specially urged
this point, declaring that it was in direct
violation of section 8 of the Bill of Rights
which provides that no person shall be
compelled to be witness against himself.
The court reserved its decision.
